Participants will learn how to assess community readiness and capacity by interviewing key stakeholders from critical sectors, including schools, other youth-serving organizations and law enforcement. Participants will begin to develop a plan to recruit coalition members. Indicators of effective coalitions will be discussed and tools and tips for strengthening the coalition structure will be provided.
